Traveling American. I'm interesting and interested. I'm currently working as an ESL teacher--I'm lucky that English is my native language as it's a great way to travel. I've been traveling for a few years now. Here is my Instagram to prove it: samatsamdotsam

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always love to find a local tour guide to advise me on what to do. I can pay you in conversation, and in charm, and maybe in drinks.

Interests

travel, history, politics, different cuisines, conversation, stories.

• drinking
• politics
• eating out
• history
• travel

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds. 90s grunge Nirvana, Hole, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Radiohead, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald

Team America (it's a masterpiece, face it), My Cousin Vinny, Pleasantville, I love old Hollywood movies--All About Eve, You Can't Take It With You, (love Capra but still haven't seen Mr. Smith Goes To Washington), The Graduate, Exit Through the Gift Shop. I have a soft spot for a good documentary

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, His Dark Materials, the Red and the Black, Animal Farm, A Time to be Born. I read lots of history books and I keep up with the news....ok fine, that's not a book.

Arrested Development, The Simpsons, Mad Men, The Sopranos, South Park, Futurama, Veep

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can discuss American domestic and international affairs and all the other (great and less great) things about my country...though it may have to be after a drink or two. I love to travel and discuss different cultures.

I'm always happy to help you practice your English
